Stephanie Hansen – J&H Harvesting
Well it’s been a while since we have posted…
We are still sitting in Scott City, Kansas.
We were moving right along when we got dumped on a couple days in a row. The wind blows 360 days a year in KS but for the past 5 days it hasn’t! At least the moisture hit before the holiday so the crew could relax and have some fun. After the 4th, we were back at it with maintenance so we could roll when it was dry. We were able to cut the past few days again now and the end of this stop is in sight.
Jesper and his crew stopped and helped us here for a bit before moving up to Atwood, KS. They chopped right through and have moved right along to Haxtun, CO. At least one crew is able to keep things rolling at a good pace!
1. Be ready to go at the drop of a hat...sometimes without a lunchbox.
2. Has removed the word impossible from her vocabulary!
3. Can hold a baby, take care of a toddler and drive a tractor or combine all at the same time.
4. Must be able to cook for a crew - large or small.
5. Must be able to read minds.
6. Must be able to banter with a parts man until he realizes you DO know what you're talking about.
7. Must be the entertainment director for those rainy days.
8. Be a wife, mom, friend, helper, cook, problem solver, taxi driver or extra crew hand at all times.
9. Can handle the call that makes you react, "You need what? When?" Dropping everything you're doing to make it happen.
10. At the end of the day say, "I really do love this life".
